Irish Wills

[ZKT]

I have found record for my 4x great grandfather in Public Records of Ireland Index of Prevocative Wills 1811-1858
Entry reads 'Bernard Irons Sgt In His Majesty's 41st Reg of Foot  1830'
 Does any one know if 1830 is the date the  Will was registered or date of his death?
Also can the original will be viewed and if so how?
Many thanks for any help.

Hi, As far as I know the year given would be the year that the Will was read.
You can see some that are 1 year up to 7 years after the death.

I think you mean Prerogative Wills?

Most early (pre-1900) Wills were destroyed in Four Courts fire but sometimes copies that were previously made survive.
